The Alpha Chose Me

"I'm sorry if this is hard for you to hear but it's time you knew the truth. I wasn't a nice person, Leah. I did horrible things to everyone, and I cared about no one. But I'm not that person anymore and that's because I found you. I found the one person that saved me". "You'd have really mated with her for the sake of the pack? To be unhappy for the rest of your life?".Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"The packs my family Leah".

"I'm your family".

"Before you baby. I had nothing to lose. I'd have mated with Jessica for the pack, but we'd have never been mates".

"She still thinks there's a chance for you two. All those messages, the phone calls-...". I paused. "She's a problem Jake". She could also be dangerous.

"She's only a problem if we make her a problem. Her and her family aren't welcome here Leah and they are aware of that". "And that'll stop her?".

"If she knows what's good for her, she'll never come back here again".

I hoped her was right. I wasn't afraid of Jessica but right now I was vulnerable. There was more than me to think about and I'll be damned if I let her hurt my child.

"I think I'm going to go to bed". I'd heard enough about Jessica for one night.

"Are we okay?". He asked.

"Always". I smiled.

He told me the truth I couldn't be angry with him for that. I now knew the situation he was put in back then. But that was his past and me and our baby were his future. "I love you Leah".

"I love you too. Are you coming to bed?".

"Yeah, babe I'm just going to lock up first".

I was almost asleep when I felt his arm slip over my waist and pull me against him. Laying my head against his chest I snuggled closer and fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in. It was still dark outside, so I knew it was early. Slipping out of Jake's embrace I grabbed my dressing gown and as quietly as I could I headed downstairs.

Making myself some tea I went about cleaning the kitchen and putting away the dishes. I wanted to go for a run today or at least a light jog. I wanted to feel the wind on my face and the adrenaline pumping through my veins.

I used to use running as a coping mechanism. A way to release my stress or anxiety but now, today, I just wanted to run for the sake of it. I took my mug of tea and a blanket from the back of the couch and went outside to watch the sunrise.

I swear there was nothing better although watching it by the beach will always be my favourite. I wrapped the blanket around my shoulders and took a seat. I loved early mornings, I loved how peaceful it was before the chaos of another day started.
